Complex ■ Now change the timing of the turning movements, and incorporate them into the “drop” movement.


■ Ride the same as the last exercise, but now on the second “drop,” students should initiate the turn as they flex. Traverse, drop, rise back up; then drop and turn.


■ As they drop, their board should flatten and the steering movements should bring the board into the fall line. As they progressively extend and rise back up, riders should skid through the control and finish phases of the turn on the new edge.


Freeride ■ Students are now comfortable making individual turns in which they are the most flexed at edge change. Link them together without the traverse.


■ Try funnel turns (wider turns, tapering to narrow, and back to wide) and explore the size of the turns and the intensity of the movements.


■ Let students play with terrain. Ask them where they want to make flexed edge turns, and where they want to ride “lazy?”


JUMPS (WITH AND WITHOUT GRABS) ■ Student objective: To be able to comfortably and safely hit small jumps with and without grabs.


■ Student profile: Te student can comfortably link turns on hard blue terrain and easy black terrain, make smooth flexion and extension movements, and has strong speed control skills. He or she is able to ollie and nollie off small natural features, and can make speed-check movements without engaging an edge and initiating a turn.


■ Tese students ride like this: Tey ride blues and blacks comfortably, and are exploring freestyle all around the mountain.


■ Tey would like to ride like this: Tese riders want to get rad in the park. ■ What: Tey want to perform basic jumps and grabs off small jumps in the park.
